I'm not sure what you mean by having accessibility installed. If you mean speech, I don't. Are there other changes I could make to make the box more useable? One thing, for example, when I log in with my terminal program, I don't see a way to distinguish files from folders. I'm still looking for a terminal program if anyone has any ideas. Thanks for the urls, I'll give those a look, and for reasons mentioned in other posts, will likely go with fedora. 73s Butch Bussen wa0vjr On Wed, 6 Oct 2004, Janina Sajka wrote: > You're not going to mess anything up by becoming an ordinary user.
